The drums rumbled, and the bursts of morning drums came out from the Chengtian Gate, and the deep and distant morning bells of the temple were struck again and again in the quiet and far-reaching market. The shrine of the sun has not yet revealed its light, and the city of Chang'an is still silent in the thick of the night.

Lu Hao leaned on the corner of the wall, snoring slightly, morning dew and frost, five watches, it was the coolest moment in the night, but Lu Hao didn't feel cold, the warmth brought by the silk clothes on his body made him immersed in sleep and reluctant to wake up for a long time.

The noisy sound in his ears shattered his sweet sleep, and his sword eyebrows twisted heavily, and he was very unwilling to wake up like this, but it backfired, and the noisy drums came and went, and he was noisy again and again.

"Who, the noise, still don't let people sleep?!"

To add insult to injury, something soft licked on his face, up and down, making his face itchy, sticky, and uncomfortable.

With the noise in his ears, Lu Hao opened his eyes in a daze, and a narrow horse face came into his eyes.

"Azi."

Ah Zi didn't know when he came to his side, and when he saw him struggling to open his eyes, he immediately arched and arched on him aggrievedly, as if complaining that he had abandoned himself. That grievance, arched Lu Hao was about to spurt out a mouthful of old blood.

Holding on to the pain of being ravaged by Ah Zi on his chest, Lu Hao rubbed his little head, stroked the fluff on the top of his forehead with a smile, and asked, "Ah Zi, why are you here?" How do you sleep at night? Chang'an's mare long Peugeot not? Hahaha. ”

Lu Hao's flirtatious tone made the little elk Ah Zi very dissatisfied, and the aggrieved Yo You called twice, raised the antlers to make a gesture and wanted to arch again, this time the target was fixed on the three-inch giant beast under Lu Hao's head, and the vigorous posture seemed to be about to cut the enemy off the horse as soon as he made a move.

"Eh, don't, don't, I was wrong," Lu Hao hurriedly protected his lower body with both hands, and protected his little brother to death.

The little brother is big and ambitious, and he sees a beautiful woman holding him high. Such a good talent, there will be something to do in the future, and you must not die like this, this is something that will make countless little ladies regret for life, so be cautious.

So Lu Hao had to find a way to coax Uncle Azi, and used all the words he had learned to praise it, and coaxed him for a long time. can be regarded as calming Uncle Lu's anger.

After a toss, the stomach also gurgled and made a fuss, speaking of which I drank a lot of wine yesterday, but I ate a bite or two of side dishes, and after a night, my stomach was already empty.

"Let's go, Ah Zi, why don't you two go eat something."

Lu Hao patted its neck gently, and Ah Zi rubbed his hand with great enjoyment.

As soon as Lu Hao moved his steps, his shoulders suddenly lightened, as if something fell lightly to the ground, and when he looked back, he saw a man's cyan robe on the ground, the style of the shirt was very unfamiliar, not his and Wang Xuance's usual clothes.

Then the question is, whose clothes are this? How did this garment end up here?

Along with the questions came fragmented memories, the events of yesterday began to come to mind, and the scenes of yesterday flickered in front of me like a marquee.

First of all, under the leadership of Zhang Dasu, he went to Yan Wan Pavilion, and met Zhang Dasu's old rival Fang Zhi Ai in Yan Wan Pavilion, and the same room bereaved each other, plagiarizing dozens of poems from his father. and made peace with Shen Duzhi when he played the piano. Then, in order to avoid the passionate woman, she ran into the streets and alleys, met Wuhou patrolling the streets, was chased by several people for a few streets, and collapsed on the wall on the side of the road.

The most vague part of the memory is when I fell on the wall, I heard the pleasant voice of the woman like a silver bell in my ears, and the refreshing fragrance, I thought it was a dream caused by being too tired, but now I saw the clothes to evoke memories, it turned out that all this was not a dream, it was really a woman, when he was lonely and helpless, he put on a warm and generous shirt for him.

Picking up a strand of thin shirt that had fallen to the ground, the shirt still had residual warmth. The men's style of clothing contains the unique fragrance of women, as well as the indescribable but reassuring smell. Not only does it smell good, but it also lifts your spirits.

Fold the clothes carefully and put them in the package on Ah Zi's back, maybe one day, he will see the woman again, hand her back the clothes with his own hands, and say three words to her. Or maybe you will never see you again, become an eternal nostalgia, the world is impermanent, and who knows what will happen in the next moment?

After everything was prepared, Lu Hao set off with Ah Zi, preparing to find a small shop in the neighborhood, eat some food to fill his stomach, and then go to Xuan Ce and Da Su to calculate the account of the two of them who would not be saved when they died.

On the third watch, the sky is still covered in lacquer and ink, and the small shops outside the square are already flickering, and many snack bars are holding lanterns and opening their doors to do business. The outside of the store is shrouded in the white air of the steamer, giving people a hazy feeling.

A burst of wheat fragrance hit, and the already hungry stomach began to stir again.

The shop was bustling with all sorts of richly decorated horse-drawn carriages parked nearby, and it was crowded with people standing everywhere. took Ah Zi to look for a place in the store for a long time, and as soon as he sat down, a store immediately came to ask.

"What do you want to eat?"

Lu Hao pointed to the steamer outside and asked, "What kind of food do you have in this store?" And what's in the steamer? It smells weird. ”

The shopkeeper is a middle-aged man in his fifties, and a smile bloomed on his wrinkled face when he heard this, and he said with smugness: "Xiaolang has eyesight, and he knows the signboard of my store at a glance, which is a steamed cake made by my family's private house, which is sweet and greasy inside, and soft and glutinous on the outside, which is deeply loved by Chang'an diners." In addition, the Hu cakes made by my Hu master are crispy and fragrant, and the dumplings are even thicker and full of flavor. Xiao Langjun take a look, what to eat? ”

Lu Hao swallowed his saliva, he also had some difficulty in choosing, he looked very good, and he didn't know which one to eat. Or...... One for each?

"What's that, one part of the dumplings is sour, one is spicy, four Hu cakes, and one drawer of steamed cakes."

"Okay, guest wait."

The efficiency of serving food in this shop is very high, the Hu Cake and the Steamed Cake are prepared before, and they can be eaten directly, or hot, and the Hu Cake is eaten and eaten in a bite, which is crispy. It didn't take a few minutes for the two dumplings to get out of the pot, and when Lu Hao just took the second bite of the Hu cake, it had already been moved to the table.

Thin slices of dough float on the thick broth, and a few slices of spinach make it even more enticing. The crisp carrots are also echoing the dough sheet, accentuating its bright red color.

After a few mouthfuls of the lower abdomen, the mouth is filled with a thick fragrance, which cannot be dissipated for a long time, the warmth slowly flows into the stomach, the hunger suddenly disappears invisibly, and the stomach is warm. A pleasant and comfortable snort, indescribable satisfaction. People say that the desire to satisfy their appetite is mostly the current situation.

Ah Zi is a little elk who loves to eat sour, just swallowed the first bite and couldn't stop, sucking endlessly, seeing that there was no left at the bottom of the bowl, and did not forget to lick it on the side of the bowl.

The store was overjoyed to see this scene, and we not only liked the food in this store, but also liked the deer. Hurriedly made another one, saying that this is a free gift, who called this uncle deer so popular.

I'm afraid that there will be one more snack in Chang'an City in the future, and the name will be Lu Aili Dumpling.

Lu Hao shook his head helplessly, and began to eat his own bowl of dumplings.

He was eating deliciously when he overheard a conversation at the next table.

The next table was next to the windowsill, and a few faint candles reflected on the table, and the lights flickered, reflecting the shadows of the two scribes, talking about the gains and losses of the court.

I saw a young man dressed as a Confucian scholar and said sullenly: "Wang Shizhong, yesterday, between His Majesty's words, he already intended to invade the Turks in the north, how can this be good?" ”

A middle-aged man on the side with a calm bearing and bright eyes was originally wandering outside the square, and said solemnly when he heard the words: "In the past, the Weishui Alliance was a piece of Your Majesty's heart, if you don't eliminate him, how can Your Majesty rest assured." In recent years, the court has been fighting hard and raising obscurity, not for the shame of snow and water. ”

"The time has not yet come." The Confucian thumped his chest, "Today's Turkic archers and horses are strong, and the Hu people are brave and fearless. The Tang Dynasty has just settled down, and it is really not suitable to use troops at this time, why does Your Majesty refuse to accept good advice. ”

The middle-aged man soothed: "Advise Your Majesty, Kuang Fu's gains and losses are within our share, but we can't be in a hurry, Your Majesty doesn't accept advice today, and we can also reply tomorrow." As for whether or not to accept advice, it depends on His Majesty's intentions. ”

The Confucian scholar said indignantly: "Your Majesty is determined, how can you accept good words." In my opinion, if Your Majesty insists on going his own way, there is no way to retreat, and there is no talent, but to die in the court, and all the saints and sages sacrifice their lives for righteousness. ”

"Hahaha."

The middle-aged man was trying to appease the Confucian scholar and persuade him to calm down first so that he could plan for the future. But an inopportune laugh resounded in the sky, messing up everyone's thoughts, and also making him swallow all the words that had just come to his mouth, and his wriggling lips were dry and he didn't know what to say.
